David Dworschak of Don’s Rental Honored with the James Gartland Memorial Award at the California Rental Association's 2015 Rental Rally Tradeshow

David Dworschak of Don’s Rental in Saint Helens, Oregon was presented with the James Gartland Memorial Award at the California Rental Association’s 2015 Rental Rally Tradeshow, held January 26-28 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The James Gartland Memorial Award, named for the founder of RER Magazine who was a long-time friend of the California Rental Association (CRA), is given annually to a rental person or service provider in recognition of their contribution to the rental industry. James Gartland helped recognize many “Rentalmen of the Year” and CRA continues that tradition by acknowledging men and women who embody the qualities Jim himself demonstrated—respect, vision, and leadership.

The Gartland award was presented to David Dworschak by Michael Roth, editor of RER, during the tradeshow’s opening Cocktail party. David has served on the CRA board of directors since 2000 and currently serves as Secretary. He has been in the rental industry since 1988 and is the owner of Don’s Rental, Inc., a full service general, party, and costume rental store. He is a past president of the American Rental Association of Oregon and served as the vice president and treasurer of the Oregon Rental Association. Since 2002, David has played a key role in organizing and producing the Northwest Rental Conference. David is currently serving on the Insurance, Membership & Public Relations, Member Benefits, Party & Event Professionals and Convention committees as well as the Rental Service Industry Foundation.

Congratulations and thanks to David for his many years of contribution to CRA and to the rental industry.
